Permanent birth control
FemBloc®
FemBloc features our proprietary delivery platform, which places balloon technology close to the opening of both fallopian tubes. This in-office approach is designed to eliminate the risks of incisions, anesthesia, and hormones. As a nonsurgical procedure that is implant free, FemBloc delivers a biopolymer that is expected to expel within 3 months. Confirmation of procedure success can be achieved after 90 days, which would provide women with a certainty no other option can achieve. FemBloc is under clinical investigation in the U.S. (NCT05977751).
